I need help getting the EITC

You may need to go through the Earned Income Credit section under You and Your Family in the Deductions and Credits section of TurboTax to allow you to get your earned income credit.

There are several reasons you may not qualify for the earned income credit. For one, you have to have earned income, meaning wage or self-employment income. Also, your investment income, from things like interest and dividend income as well as rent income, would have to be under $11,600 in 2024. If you don't have a qualifying child, you must be at least 25 years old, but under 65. There are also income requirements. You can learn more in this Intuit article.
